The RedM game build is the Red Dead Redemption 2 version every player must run, set with sv_enforceGameBuild. On FREAKHOSTING, change it with Game Build in Startup: the default is 1491, the September 2022 update and the RedM build Cfx.re lists. Restart the server to apply it. Don’t use Game build on Server config; that list is for GTA V.

​
What is sv_enforceGameBuild?

The Cfx.re server commands describe it as the setting that “selects a game build for clients to use”. It can only be set when the server starts, not while it runs. Cfx.re’s RedM list has one build: Use another number only if Cfx.re adds it to that list, or a resource you use asks for it.

​
How to change the RedM game build

1

Open Startup

Open your server in the Game Panel and click Startup.
2

Set Game Build

Type the build number in Game Build (up to 4 digits), for example 1491. Click outside the field; it saves on its own.
3

Restart

Restart the server. The build is passed to FXServer when it starts.
Server config has a Game build field with a list of GTA V builds, such as 2060 or 3889. Those builds don’t exist for Red Dead Redemption 2 and would write a wrong sv_enforceGameBuild line. Leave that field not set on RedM. Server config shows not in the file because the RedM build comes from Startup, not from server.cfg.

​
Is the game build the same as the FXServer build?

No. The game build (1491) is the Red Dead Redemption 2 version players run. The FXServer build (for example 38055) is the server program, changed on Artifacts. See how to update your artifacts.

​
Frequently asked questions

​
What game build should my RedM server use?

1491. It is the default in Startup and the build Cfx.re lists for RedM.

​
Can I change the game build while the server runs?

No. Cfx.re says sv_enforceGameBuild is only read at startup. Restart after changing it.

​
Why is there no sv_enforceGameBuild line in my server.cfg?

On FREAKHOSTING the build comes from Game Build in Startup, which is applied when the server starts. Don’t add your own sv_enforceGameBuild line to the file; change the number in Startup instead.

​
Why does the VORP recipe also set 1491?

The VORP txAdmin recipe puts sv_enforceGameBuild 1491 in its own server.cfg. That matches the default in Startup.

How Startup works.
Checked against the official Cfx.re server commands on 2 November 2026, and tested on our Game Panel (RedM, FXServer build 38055 with txAdmin 8.1.2). Details may change when Cfx.re updates RedM.
